The FMco is a compact FM synthesis based VCO and voice. It features our own original 2-operator FM synthesis DSP implementation inspired by our ‘Akemie’ modules but tuned for more immediate use and a more modern sound.
It includes both manual and voltage control over FM Index, Ratio and a selection of classic operator waveforms for a wide palette of FM sounds from a simple set of controls. A built-in decay envelope is routed to both FM depth and output level, allowing the FMco to function as a full synth voice when triggered. The FMco also includes CV-controlled four-voice chords, an encoder-based tuning system for easy accurate pitch control, and a stereo-widened output, delivering a large amount of FM synthesis all in just 8HP.

Announcing QUAID GIGASLOPE & FMco
The QUAID GIGASLOPE is a four-channel multi-mode modulator, with each channel outputting a variable staged slope that can act as a complex envelope, flexible LFO, or step sequence.Each slope can contain up to 13 stages, which may be independent or overlap with other stages. Slopes can be triggered or run freely, with...
